|  how to become a moderator
just a quick question, how do you become a moderator of an existing forum? do you post in the "Get a forum" forum, contact a member of admin, contact the current moderators, etc etc? I'm interested, and curious about how to go about it, and couldn't find the answer in the FAQ.

| Re: how to become a moderator
there are currently quite a few mods in the tats and peircings forum so i dont really think its a possibility at the moment. However, down the line it may happen.
I dont really see there being much of a problem with you being a dnr mod as long as dave says its ok.
Good luck | |

| Re: how to become a moderator
Well they way it usually works is we ask some question.
Does the forum need a/another Moderator?
Is the person active in the forum?
Knowledgeable on the subject?
Treats people fairly?
If the answer to them all is Yes then we'd consider the user. In the case of the Tattoo Forum do you think there needs to be more mods? I think Kali and Bikuki do a great job so don't really see a need for another one unless they think they need help.

it's not a popularity contest/who's online the most contest, guff
we keep the forum in line, make sure everyone gets the advice they need, and there isn't flaming/abuse
why do you want to be a mod, anyway, guff....to be cool?
cos me and kali ain't cool

Supermods moderate (nearly) everything. He became one by reporting more posts than have ever been reported ever, in the history of post reporting.
[Not actually, don't start reporting lots of posts, people.]
